This unit will critique 'narrative' as a root metaphor for understanding and describing human experience, provide participants with an overview of contemporary narrative research and develop critical awareness of the implications of particular methodological choices and positions. Debate, discussion and structured activities will facilitate the presentation, comparison, evaluation and justification of specific forms of narrative research at both micro levels (such as narrative analysis) and macro levels (such as narrative approaches to educational inquiry).
